The stories of Stefanos Xenakis are permeated with the hot southern sun, filled with Greek soulfulness and deep worldly wisdom. They teach us to observe what are usually called small things - a sunset, a flower, a smile, a gesture - and see beauty in everything. By reading one story after another, you will be able to immerse yourself in your inner world, learn to find joy in the little things. And you won’t forget for a second that life itself is a gift. Published in Russian for the first time.
